As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The P7800 with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Nikon P7800 will show extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent P7800 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
